Do you live in or on a street?

In US English, we say, “I live on this street.” If a person is homeless, we say “He lives on the street” or “He lives on the streets”. Note the subtle difference in wording: “He lives on THE street” means he’s homeless. “He lives on THIS street” or “He lives on Maple Street” tells us his address.
